Donovan Lewis

Jury selection was set to begin on Oct. 31, but is now scheduled to begin on Feb. 27, 2025.

The family is asking a federal court to order changes at CPD they say could help fix an alleged culture of systemic racism within the department.

Retired Columbus Police K-9 Officer Ricky Anderson's bond was set at $500,000 with a $20,000 recognizance bond.

A former Columbus police officer who shot and killed an unarmed Black man during the early morning raid of an apartment has been indicted by a grand jury on murder charges.

The suit states Donovan Lewis' family is “seeking accountability for the reckless police conduct that violated Donovan’s rights and caused his tragic death, and to encourage the reforms needed to prevent other such injuries and deaths.”

Rebecca Duran, the mother of Donovan Lewis, an unarmed 20-year-old man who was shot and killed by Columbus police officer Ricky Anderson in the Hilltop neighborhood last August, is criticizing how slowly Columbus officials are handling the case.

The Franklin County prosecutor has named two special prosecutors who will present a grand jury with the results of a state investigation into the Columbus police shooting death of an unarmed Black man last summer.

The death was ruled a homicide and the body camera footage from the officers at the Sullivant Avenue apartment provides plenty of evidence, according to the family's attorney.

In the wake of last week’s deadly shooting of Donavan Lewis, an unarmed Black man, the Columbus Division of Police is changing when most arrests warrants can be served.

Donovan Lewis’ mother said Thursday she wants to see Ricky Anderson, the Columbus police officer who shot the 20-year-old Black man, to be fired.
